“First time user here to Rover. Having at least one pet in the family growing up our family went through our last dogs passing at the end of the school year. We recently just came to be the right moment that we added a new puppy to the family. However, with a new puppy in the family it isn’t the same to let a neighbor or just anyone check up on them and not knowing if the puppy is getting the attention they need. Qingbo promptly accepted our request and upon all the worries we had leading up to leaving our puppy with a total stranger for a weekend she set our minds at ease. Communication was ongoing and even before the trip she reminded us of things to pack and make sure we have with our puppy. She took care of everything, sent lots of videos and photos with updates as to how our puppy was doing away from us. She earned our trust and business as she was very open with communication and contacting regarding any concerns with our puppy. She spent plenty of time with our puppy even with sitting multiple puppies. If you want to have a knock it out of the park experience take a chance and book her!”
“TayJuana was wonderful with Callie Berry! She arrived right on time for pick-up, kept me updated with feedback during Callie’s stay, and brought her back home safe and happy the next day. I truly appreciate her reliable and caring service and would gladly book with her again!”
“I can't say enough good things about our experience with Bob and Pam. This was our first boarding since we adopted our dog 2 years ago and we were apprehensive to say the least. Bob and Pam and their dog Shiloh made us and our dog feel right at home. They are warm and friendly and definitely dog people. Their home and yard were the perfect setting for our dog to settle in, and they kept us informed throughout the weekend with texts and pictures to ease my anxiety. We will definitely use their services again and would highly recommend them to others.”
“I can't recommend Eric enough!! It's not easy to find someone who handles our 100lb female Berner who can be overwhelmed in new settings. Eric made her (and us!) feel comfortable and reassured and able to enjoy our trip knowing she was in good hands. Will definitely book again in the future!”
“My dog means world to me & I Strongly recommend Marlin G. , she absolutely gave me peace of mind… she constantly updated me & making sure he is all good & loved. I give Marlin 5 star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Thanks alot 🙏🥰🙏”
“Joy and Rodney were great with my dog and very flexible with last-minute schedule changes. They sent frequent updates, and when I picked up my dog, it was clear that my pup was very comfortable with them. I would not hesitate to ask them to care for her again.”
“Tiffany took great care of Marvin and was very responsive. She shared photos without having to ask. We would definitely leave Marvin in her care again!”
“Kristin is amazing. Her house is set up great for boarding and she really takes care to learn all the uniqueness of each pet. You can tell from the moment you meet her how passionate she is about animals. Book if you get the chance.”
“Victor has watched our pup several times and has always been dependable, caring and attentive. We receive daily updates and pictures. Our dog definitely has a great time at Victor’s!”
“Erika was so amazingly kind and patient. My pup felt so loved and happy as shown by his happy trot every time we arrived. We were very pleased with and blessed by Toby's stay with Erika and her lovely family.”

Malik was very friendly and took great care of Teddy during his stay. I especially appreciated his excellent communication! He was very responsive, answered all my questions throughout the booking process, and kept me updated with pictures and messages during Teddy's stay. Teddy seemed happy and comfortable with him when I picked him up. I highly recommend Malik and will definitely use his services again! 🐾
Marlin and her pup Prince took such great care of my baby when i had to go away for almost 3 weeks!!! I was miserable without her but I knew that Stormy was having a great time from the many pictures and videos that Marlin sent. Stormy is a high anxiety dog but Marlin went above and beyond to stick to Stormy's routine so she could feel safe and comfortable. Her dog Prince is so sweet and charming! He shared his balls and his beds with Stormy without complaint, even though he didn't always want to lol. Stormy enjoyed having another dog with her and Prince made her feel comfortable. I can never thank Marlin enough for making a difficult time in my life less stressful because I knew she was taking care of my baby like she was her own. I highly recommend Marlin and Prince!!! She is the best sitter for your baby, trust me
I am the owner of a bichon frise – Shih Tzu mix puppy who is quite anxious and quite attached to my husband and me. We previously had only left him with family members when we traveled. That situation however was no longer feasible. So I became the anxious one looking for a dog sitter who would make my beloved pooch, feel comfortable. Jacqueline was the answer to my prayers. She only boards one dog at a time. She has a job that allows her to work from home. And she is calm, kind, and patient. Jacqueline and I communicated easily and she sent me photographs of my pooch every day that I was traveling. I really didn't worry about him a bit after the first morning – – I knew he was comfortable and safe. What more can you ask? I'm very happy to have found Jacqueline.
Robert and Pamela are wonderful! Our dog Annie is an aussie mix. and is very anxious with many people. I could tell she loves these two and felt very comfortable at their home, and received wonderful care. They even sent pictures during her stay! Totally recommend Robert and Pamela (also they both have wonderful, friendly personalities.).
We had a great experience with Lakshme! She took wonderful care of our dog while boarding her for a week. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands, and it was clear that she was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout her stay. We really appreciate the care and attention she gave her and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Kirti and her family were amazing sitters for my dog Joy! They went above and beyond and treated her like their own. Their dog Sunshine was also a wonderful companion for Joy. I look forward to having Joy stay with them again in the future and am grateful to have found such a loving and caring family for her to stay with when I travel. Their love for dogs is genuine and they have set up their home to meet every comfort for Sunshine and any Rover dogs they host.
Caeli and Joaquin took good care of our older dog, Cassie. They have a spacious fenced in yard in a quiet, green, dog-walking friendly neighborhood. They had no problem handling and feeding Cassie her raw dog food. Caeli reported that, because Cassie seemed anxious, they decided not to leave her alone in the house. She looked very content in the photos they sent us. We would definitely book with them again.
Highly recommend Kerry! She looked after my dog Luna for a long-term stay and was wonderful. She is experienced with dogs and cats. She was very accommodating and flexible with our scheduling, and she took great care of Luna. If you are looking for a dependable and responsible sitter, Kerry is a fantastic choice.
Our two dogs and one cat had a great time with Erin! She accommodated our nervous dog by introducing him slowly to others, and accommodated our tripod by putting down plenty of mats for him to walk on as his one front foot sometimes slips on hard, smooth floors and he gets scared. She made sure they had what they needed and were comfortable, which allowed me to relax on my vacation knowing they were well taken care of. Thank you Erin!

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in North Laurel can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their North Laurel home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your North Laurel.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in North Laurel. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your North Laurel sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MD ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
